Sarah Walker
I looked towards the BMX track, preparing for my race. I glance around too meet the other competers, who are all trying to win gold for their country. The sun beams down onto the track, the nerve is spreading. This is my race, the time I will hopefully make my country proud; New Zealand proud.
Bang! the gun fires, I lunge forward, the rush of adrenalin flows through me. I grab tightly onto my handlebars, I push my legs as hard as I can on the pedals, and are thankful to be moving forward.
It's near the finish line, my olympic race is nearly over, but the question remains will I win Gold for New Zealand or Silver, Bronze what will it be.
The power inside me is building up every second, my heart pumps like crazy, my lungs craving for air. Bang! Then just like that the race is over, what a relief I an so exhausted, my muscles burning, my heart managing to slow down.
I'm very proud of myself which ever way it goes. I did my best and that's all that matters!
